Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Ciabatta rolls (fresh)
  • 1 pound Chicken breast (boneless)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella (sliced)
  • 1 medium Ripe tomato (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup Basil pesto
  • 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for grilling)

Instructions

  1. Preparation Steps Begin by placing the chicken breast on a cutting board. Generously season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. Grilling Chicken Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle it with olive oil, then add the chicken breast. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165 ºF. Let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing.
  3. Slicing Ingredients Slice the fresh mozzarella and ripe tomato into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices and set aside.
  4. Toasting Bread Slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Reduce the grill temperature to medium, and place the bread cut side down onto the grill. Toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Assembling Sandwich Spread the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta with basil pesto. Layer with sliced chicken, mozzarella, tomato slices, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with fresh basil leaves, and if desired, drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Notes

  • Let the chicken rest for 1-2 minutes after grilling before slicing to retain juices and keep it tender.
  • Balsamic glaze is optional but adds a sweet tangy flavor that complements the sandwich well.
